Abstract: 13,647. Stott, J. H. June 3. Yarns, warping and beaming, dressing, balling, &c.- (1) Tapering speed-cones are employed for transmitting motion between parts of the machines which require to have their angular velocities changed or adjusted from time to time. The cones may be connected by an open or crossed belt, or by a band passing round one only but kept in contact with both. The belt is shifted either by hand or by gearing operated automatically by the tension of the yarns or threads being operated upon. (2) Shafts 75, 76, Fig. 6, for transmitting motion are coupled together by a yielding frictional connection, formed by discs 77, 78 at the ends of the shafts, having flannel or the like 80 between them and working between spring- pressed plates 79. Flannel or the like 81 is also placed between the discs 77, 78, and the plates 79, and the spring pressure is regulated by nuts 82<a> on bolts 82, and by additional screws passing through one of the plates and bearing against the other. (3) Measured lengths are marked upon the yarns or threads by a hammer 13<a> and pad 14, Fig. 7, the hammer being actuated by a rod 11 and spiral cam 10 from a train of gearing operated from one of the rollers a over which the yarns or threads pass. This roller, by means of bevel gearing s, t, shaft t<1>, and other bevel gearing u, v, drives a bevel-wheel w, which in turn drives a bevel-wheel x mounted on a bracket on the gear-wheel y and engaging with a bevel-wheel z on the shaft 1. This shaft carries a worm 2 for operating the worm-wheel 3, and by means of gear-wheels 5, 6, 8 the shaft 9 carrying the hammer-operating spiral cam 10. If the bevelwheel x is held stationary by a stop 21, the number of revolutions of the roller a compared with the number of the wheel 8 will be represented by twice the number of teeth of the latter, but if the wheel x is allowed to rotate with the wheel y, which is driven by gearing 19, 18, shaft 17 and bevel gearing 16, 15 from the shaft 9, to this number must be added such proportion of two revolutions as is expressed by the ratio of the number of teeth in the changewheel 18 to that in the wheel y. (4) For conditioning, damping, or moistening the yarns or threads, a perforated tube is provided with a piston at each end for regulating its length, and is connected to the water-supply pipe, which is provided with a shut-off cock to be operated from the starting and stopping handle of the machine. (5) For supporting sections or beams of greater than the ordinary width, the bearing for one end of the shaft is formed in a pivoted arm, which can be either turned back or held in position to support the shaft. (6) To enable large rollers to be employed, the journals are made capable of being raise 1 and lowered and of revolving in inclined slots formed in the brackets.
